CM2000 v5 - Unstable turn on / boat

I was trying to launch my phantom from a boat and the CM2000 would not initialize. It just remained limp. When I got back to shore it worked fine. I assume that it needs a stable service when you turn it on? Is there a way around this? I ended up taping the camera in place in order to take some shots--obviously less than ideal.

The thread is about getting the Phantom stable enough on a boat that it initializes properly, but they might be worth a try for your gimbal. I have the CM2000 as well but I've never tried using it on a boat (moving or otherwise).

Go into the SimpleBGC software and check the box that says "Skip gyro calibration on startup". I haven't tried it but, in theory, that should fix the problem because it will use the stored calibration instead of having to be still to get a new calibration when you start it up.
